How do I Travel to a Star System?

Traveling to a Star System or a Star in Starfield requires you to pilot a Ship and plot a route to reach the designated Star System. There are two ways to do this, first is by "Jumping", a term used for Fast Travel in Starfield, and you can do this if you want to focus on the objectives of a Mission that requires you to travel to another Star System. Simply open the Missions menu and press the corresponding button (R on PC) to plot a course to your next objective.

On the other hand, if you are exploring the galaxy, you will need to open the Starp Map and link the systems to create a path leading to your destination. This could be from Point A to Point B and multiple jumps on each linked system. A couple of things to consider if you are jumping between Star Systems are Jump Range (Light Years), Cargo Hold, and the Ship's Fuel. The amount of cargo you have on the ship determines how much fuel will be used and how far you can Grav Drive Jump through the galaxy.

To put it in simple terms, the heavier your ship is, the higher the consumption value is for jumping making it difficult to reach your destination, and the lighter the ship is, the less fuel is consumed and you can do multiple jumps to reach further star systems.

What can I find in a Star in Starfield?

There is collective data that you can find when you look into a Star System in Starfield. These are the available Planets, Moons, Outposts, information about the planet or moon, all the different "Landing Spots", Resources, and more. Each Star System is grouped by a fixed player level and the difficulty will depend on your player level. We recommend that you look at the player level of each Star System before you plot a course and explore it.

How do Star System Levels work?

The Star Systems in Starfield consists of levels that determine its difficulty. These are not level requirements, but instead, recommended player levels. Players are free to explore the different Star Systems and they can choose to investigate a Level 100 Star System on Player Level 1, but of course, it is highly recommended to survey a high-level Star System once you've reached its level to match its difficulty, making it less taxing to explore.

What are Factions in Starfield?

The different Star Systems are controlled by various Factions. Maintaining a good relationship with these groups will benefit you such as avoiding a bounty off of your head, being able to trade with them, speaking to the members, participating in faction-type missions, and more. There are many factions in Starfield, some who are friendly, while others have decided to separate themselves and are considered dangerous and hostile arms in the galaxy.

How Many Sytems are in Starfield?

There are over 100+ Star Systems in Starfield, each having its set of orbiting Planets, Moons, Factions, and different Locations. Each star system is unique in many ways such as its temperature, mass, inhabiting Flora and Fauna, including Resources, and secrets that are waiting to be discovered by a space explorer.
